re: Deputies arrest 4 in LSU student Madison Brooks case

But aren't the penalties higher for 1st degree?

Again, I'm not a lawyer but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.

3rd degree is good for ONE GUY gets girl stupid drunk to have sex with her. Multiple perps here = First Degree.

But only go for higher offense if it has higher penalties.

"Nexus." That sounds like an argument for the defense lawyer to make. I don't know all the facts though. If they drop her off and she's killed a few minutes later = manslaughter.

If, as someone else posted, she went to the apartment, called Uber time goes by... is killed trying to flag Uber down... Maybe your 'nexus' flies.

I'd let the jury sort it all out.

Oh, what'd you think of my suggestion of the video voyeurism charge thanks to the evidence the defense lawyer is about to hand over? Not every day the defense lawyer creates new criminal charges - and supplies useful evidence - to the prosecutor.

Given the Facebook chatter, defense lawyers want black women on this jury. They seem to think the victim 'had it comin.'
